A new refinement of the orthorhombic polymorph of acetamide

J. W. Bats, M. C. Haberecht and M. Wagner

Abstract: Crystals of orthorhombic acetamide, C₂H₅NO, were obtained from a mixture of ethyl acetate and dilute ammonia. The previously reported structure [Hamilton (1965). Acta Cryst. 18, 866-870] was confirmed, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The molecules are hydrogen bonded to form columns. Neighboring columns are connected by weak intermolecular C-HO interactions.
